Oh yeah, definitely, I’m not trying to excuse what Bethesda has done, nor am I belittling the first game. I think the setting worked perfectly, there’s a reason why it’s captured our imaginations. Hell, the setting was literally all I knew when I first discovered the franchise through wiki...

Good point. Leonard Boyarsky was on Tim Cain’s channel somewhat recently and they talked about the development of Fallout. Apparently it was just going to be some Mad Max rip-off, but then Leonard Boyarsky was driving home one day and he had an epiphany-type moment that it would be cool if they...

Agree with the idea that the pre-war world should be left a mystery. I don’t want to derail the topic of this thread but I just want to put this out there and I don’t think it justifies its own thread: does there even really need to be a “divergence” in the Fallout universe? It’s something...

Hey now, I liked the first few episodes…

It’s just a shame that the most evil thing your war criminal Nate will be able to do is begrudgingly help people while being a dick about it.

Yeah, they called it the Resource Wars, not the Poorly-Thought-Out Social Experiments Wars.

Do you mean 2277? I’ve seen people say that that blackboard timeline is actually saying that the NCR was nuked sometime after 2277, because it shows 2277 and then an arrow towards the mushroom cloud. Which begs the question, what was significant about the year 2277, and why wasn’t its...

Your recent absence from these discussions has not gone unnoticed. I’ve been looking forward to hearing your thoughts because you’re generally one of the more intelligent and level-headed people here. As far as what other people on the internet think, Fallout Reddit has been praising this HARD...

Technically Easy Pete is of the “old” African-American race, and frankly all of the “old” races look white anyway.

They’re tribals in the sense that they have their own cultural identity in ways that settlements like Junktown or the Hub, or even gangs like the Skulz or Blades, do not. But they have too much knowledge and understanding of the world, particularly the pre-war world, to have the kind of...

I was on a plane today and the guy next to me was watching it on his phone, so I caught bits and pieces of it. I must say, it looked like it COULD have been good. Like, if it didn’t have the Fallout branding then I might’ve been able to enjoy it on its own merits. But maybe the sound design and...

Actually it isn’t entirely accurate… the horses were a glaring example. But you really didn’t like All Roads? Its like one of my favorite pieces of Fallout media lol. Also I’d like to take a second to commend you for continuing to post here even though it seems like everyone relentlessly shits...

Honestly I thought it was in poor taste, but yeah, I can’t imagine anyone would actually take you seriously. There really isn’t. One man’s cunt is another man’s…where was I going with this…

Well that could’ve been a factor, but I seem to remember (from the Fallout Bible, so, you know, grain of salt) that the U.S.-Canada conflict stemmed from America wanting an easy land route to Alaska and Canada not being happy with that for some reason (I’m sure the U.S. military was exercising a...

I don’t really know or care much about Nate’s backstory, but I had always assumed he just fought in Alaska. Which was being invaded by the Chinese. Also allies generally allow other allies troop movements through their countries. Not sure how much of an ally Canada was once they stopped letting...

This makes me laugh as hard as Nate does when he watches that POW die.

If there’s one thing that’s good for business it’s global thermonuclear war. Seriously though, are they saying that these companies actually started the war intentionally, or was it more a case of them sabotaging peace talks which then snowballed into an apocalypse? I could buy the second...

I’ve heard some very odd things about this show. Like, apparently Shady Sands was nuked in 2277…

I agree that punishing players for not being prepared by wasting their time with tedious and lengthy backtracking is not fun game design. The consequence should be that fast traveling with broken legs drastically increases the amount of ingame time that passes. The only issue with that is that...
